Stanza six says the cottage is done. But you say in the end that the cottage is nearing completion. So, a little bit confusing. You're not actually communicating with Gracie. You espy her, so this is not quite a tale of lost love. The key, then, is how we interpret "gracie." She works best as a failed ideal. The cottage becomes your compromise in life. I love the lyrical quality as you tell it all. Very good.

This is an incredible write..love the title and the poem speaks powerfully...I love the theme of gracie's moon running throughout the poem...the poem had a feel of something from the old poets who told stories with words getting the readers lost in their magic...well done.
